We took the town by storm, ate in some terrific places, including the Sayre Mansion where she feasted on strawberry mile-high pie. She got on famously with the Yorkies and slept on a cozy bed on the bookshelf (near the travel section, of course).Later in the week, we visited nearby towns, watched movies--she loved UP!, rode the rollercoaster art Dorney Park ...and raised our glasses in a toast to vacations. She drank her favorite Peach Belini over minced ice. We also went to the local winery and toured the vineyards, then had a winetasting. Yum!<br />She shopped for prezzies to take back to Australia--and especially loved the Monogram Store where she bought a handpainted brooch. She left today for her next vacation stop at Michelle's. So she is bound for a great time in Magicville.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-55349069337777302562009-06-12T21:30:00.001-07:002009-06-12T21:38:52.817-07:00In the DarkAlthough we didn't really have a good photo opportunity, Farushka had a lovely farewell dinner with friends this evening in the garden area of a little place called Muggsy's while Rob Killam's jazz band played in Jacksonville, Illinois. It was a perfect evening and great way to end our week together. Farushka developed a crush on the sax player and sat in with the band for a couple of numbers. He was MUCH too old for her, so I kept a close eye on them and put the kebosh on any shenanigans. You know how it is with sax players and impressionable young girls.......hmmmmm........I managed to get her on the plane with her virtue intact and only a few tears......I'm not sure how long the flight is, but she should arrive at Nancye's at least by morning. Please let me know if she doesn't make it. I'll hunt that sax player down like a bloodhound and bring her back!katalesnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-37970594843091912372009-06-12T15:38:00.000-07:002009-06-12T15:43:41.801-07:00Meet Opal...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SjLY4EhYgwI/AAAAAAAABQM/ckaBdUi6hBg/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SjLY4EhYgwI/AAAAAAAABQM/ckaBdUi6hBg/s320/006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346574165440234242" border="0" /></a>As I promised them, the girls finally met the oldest doll in the studio this afternoon.

Joyce (hands pictured) was absolutely thrilled to meet her and the two of them hit it right off, swapping stories and deep philosphical truths during the entire session. Joyce finished with wishes of infinite love and peace for Farushka to take with her on the rest of her journey. Farushka commented that the hour went WAY too fast and she didn't really want to get off the table but she eventually consented to sit by the fountain and listen to music while I had my turn. She was asleep in minutes.

"Sass (short for Arkansas) and Texas" are the names of the two sisters featured in this lovely, lyrical book. The girls grow up in Southernmost Illinois and eventually travel the world. As Joanna Beth read, Farushka totally identified with Sass and has since then been using some of her favorite phrases such as "Well, ain't that a cat's bark of a thing," and "That's just chicken in the skillet" which is a good thing if you're wanting dinner, but not so good if you're the chicken. She's mentioned more than once now that I'm "older than time's uncle" and reminisced that she's "plain cold-duck cockamamie" crazy over that Jack Daniels sauce from the other day. If you can't understand a thing she's saying when she gets home, you'll need to read the book. After the reading and book signing, Joanna Beth, her beau &amp; playwrite David Logan and Farushka huddled together for some time discussing the possibility of casting her as "Sass" if it becomes a play or movie some day. They told her she had the perfect look for the part and the twang in her voice made her a natural. She posed by the poster -- you can see how she fits right in!! Joanna Beth is also the founder editor of QUIDDITY (an international literary journal) and she has invited Farushka to submit her poetry or travel essays for consideration. She's been holed up in her room with a pencil and wad of paper ever since. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div></div>katalesnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-84961249448810492022009-06-11T07:10:00.000-07:002009-06-11T07:29:07.611-07:00Farushka's first few days<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yWzrA_TtV1Y/SjESpksWhWI/AAAAAAAAABA/UqS5WkqOTFY/s1600-h/DSC00619.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346074738099127650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yWzrA_TtV1Y/SjESpksWhWI/AAAAAAAAABA/UqS5WkqOTFY/s320/DSC00619.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yWzrA_TtV1Y/SjERGgbFIRI/AAAAAAAAAA4/dgYwVhde7nI/s1600-h/traveling+art+doll+group+2009+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346073036145893650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yWzrA_TtV1Y/SjERGgbFIRI/AAAAAAAAAA4/dgYwVhde7nI/s320/traveling+art+doll+group+2009+001.jpg" border="0" /></a> After her initial disappointment &amp; pout at having (heaven forbid) NO COFFEE IN THE HOUSE, Farushka settled in and decided tea would do for this week. Monday she accompanied me on a trip to Springfield, Illinois to visit with my good friend Nancy Long and go shopping for hydrangeas since they've gone on half price sale. We stopped at TGIF where you can see us sharing a grilled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. She learned that (like me) she's a HUGE fan of TGIF Jack Daniels sauce and even thought the napkin was tasty when lightly dipped in the scrumptious sauce. After lunch we picked out three lovely plants and loaded them into the back of the car. She was a good sport and helped me get them planted the next day. Clearly she has some expertise in this area and I was happy to take her advice.<br /><br /><div></div></div>katalesnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-14974656007832851092009-06-11T03:28:00.000-07:002009-06-11T03:40:10.716-07:00Lucy and Zenina...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SjDeRwKN6pI/AAAAAAAABPM/06xTZ1-SzhA/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 197px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SjDeRwKN6pI/AAAAAAAABPM/06xTZ1-SzhA/s320/008.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346017154255678098" border="0" /></a>At first she was shy...<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SjDeRh0_0BI/AAAAAAAABPE/4-uMGVoeFvQ/s1600-h/007.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SjDeRh0_0BI/AAAAAAAABPE/4-uMGVoeFvQ/s320/007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346017150408577042" border="0" /></a>Then she was interested...<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SjDeRdDfLoI/AAAAAAAABO8/LTrMDshiRis/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SjDeRdDfLoI/AAAAAAAABO8/LTrMDshiRis/s320/005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346017149127175810" border="0" /></a>Here's Chloe with Lucy.<br /><br /></div>I had just got used to Lucy being around and then Zenina came to visit as well. Lucy hid out with the other dolls for a day or two and then Zenina and Lucy became fast friends. Lucy told Zenina that she was going to have to go home because of prior commitments and Zenina invited her to tag along with her on the rest of her journey. "The more the merrier" she laughed. So they celebrated their new friendship by staying up all night and partying in the studio with the all the other dolls. Before Zenina arrived, Lucy and I went to the Art Center to pick up my dolls that were in the show. Lucy fell in love with my red ribbon so I made her one. Now Zenina wants one too. Here is a picture of Lucy with my granddaughter playing around before Zenina got here. Today the 3 of us are going to do something fun. It has been raining here all week so far and it has been cold. Too cold to go out and play.<br /><br />More pictures to come...nancye williamsnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-43428616107937366602009-06-09T10:01:00.000-07:002009-06-09T10:09:01.428-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uCM1gFxGcrE/Si6V_r5RKhI/AAAAAAAAAA4/h6fUjwv19CE/s1600-h/034.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345374729082579474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 270px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uCM1gFxGcrE/Si6V_r5RKhI/AAAAAAAAAA4/h6fUjwv19CE/s400/034.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hi!

At the bank. I was in line...my usual line, waiting for the teller who has handled my transactions for the past four years. My turn came and as Donna said hello, she gave me a look like I had a fork stuck in my forehead. Then she grinned, sort of. I followed her gaze to the bottom front edge of my blouse where there in all its auburn glory was a mohair doll "wig" bouncily affixed to me.(The miracle of spray fixative gone wild!) I laughed till I nearly peed myself. It looked like a doll tried to take refuge under my blouse. No one else shared the embarassing sight with as much humor as I did, but then again, they didn't know what that curious red clump of mohair was exactly. And no one asked. The man behind me leaned in and said, "there's more where that came from", and he pointed to the back of my thigh. I pulled a stubborn wad of red mohair from the back of my pant leg and laughed until tears ran down my cheeks. Now the whole line was laughing,too. A brave woman further back asked, "that's not dog fur, is it?" [what kind of dog does she have, I wondered, because this looked like no dog fur I'd ever seen.] "No", I said totally serious, "it's from my cat." The line fell silent. "Just kidding", I added quickly; "it's from my dolls". ...I wish I could have captured the looks on faces. It was a Mastercard moment....Priceless. Needless to say, I have made a new entry in my Rules to Live By Journal--<span style="font-style:italic;">Spray fixative is only for use by grown-ups.</span>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-49332244350353756322009-06-08T05:37:00.000-07:002009-06-08T05:40:31.311-07:00I love Lucy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/Si0Gr6Ceu_I/AAAAAAAABO0/6fU_qOdVWic/s1600-h/Lucy.htm"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/Si0Gr6Ceu_I/AAAAAAAABO0/6fU_qOdVWic/s320/Lucy.htm" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344935684142447602" border="0" /></a><br />Lucy came to visit me this weekend.

You may notice that she bears a striking resemblence to E.P. Bailey's "Zelda" --- they are first cousins on their mother's side of the family and credit must be given to Ms. Bailey for her wonderful, fanciful pattern. Zenina has been cautioned to not spit tobacco juice in anyone's house and to contain her fits of cursing. (keep your tequila under lock and key!!) I can only hope she behaves herself! .......................Have fun dear one....don't forget to write! </div>katalesnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-80027082166019078482009-06-06T03:24:00.000-07:002009-06-06T03:32:58.441-07:00A new girl is on her way!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s65u02Sdtds/SipF0cLoXpI/AAAAAAAAAbY/Li4qEOE2rEA/s1600-h/travelling+doll+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s65u02Sdtds/SipF0cLoXpI/AAAAAAAAAbY/Li4qEOE2rEA/s320/travelling+doll+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344160675049004690" border="0" /></a><br />As some of you may know,I had a small disaster recently,my darling companion and dog decided to play Godzilla with some of my dolls and Teddies,My cat Cecil who fancies himself as a great hunter stole them from my desk and stashed them on the kitchen chair where some were still sitting when I discovered the terrible event.<br /><br />Gemma my cattle dog had found them and proceeded to chew them with relish,gotta love her!<br /><br />So I had to make a new dollie and here she is,pretty in pink,I call her Meggins,she is about to go cybering to meet Sharyn!kimkimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15031797849229093625noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-75817033120504610192009-06-05T05:53:00.001-07:002009-06-05T05:59:28.207-07:00I'm on my way...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SikVcwqo1zI/AAAAAAAABOs/2OL9XcjPyyQ/s1600-h/023.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 191px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YD9aSqHAYEQ/SikVcwqo1zI/AAAAAAAABOs/2OL9XcjPyyQ/s320/023.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343826016696063794" border="0" /></a>Hi everyone. My name is fancie nancie. I am on my way now. I am a little scared because I've never done this before, Virtual Travel. Here I am sitting on my trunk that I keep all of my souvenirs in along with my journal. I am wearing my best dress with favorite pink shoes. My sister let me use her necklace for the trip and my hair...well as usual when I want it look the best it fails me. Oh well. It's just hair. See you all later.nancye williamsnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-1860364536398413282009-06-04T21:48:00.000-07:002009-06-04T21:54:18.909-07:00Ready set go!Well here we are ready to go. I hope we all have the same goals in mind...<br />Introducing the very first Virtual Art Dolls On The Move.<br />Drum Roll...<br />Tada!<br />Here are the easy to follow guidelines... Find your name on the list that is published in our group on <a href="http://nancyesartdolls.ning.com">http://nancyesartdolls.ning.com</a> and send a photo of your doll (by email) to the persons name under yours. Then we will continue in order until we are finished. You can keep the photo and do stuff for one week. Then send it to the next in line. Don't forget that you are all authors on the blog and can sign in and write what you want there. Photos, adventures etc. If you cannot do anything with the photo in real life make it up and take pictures. This should be a challenge and fun at the same time.<br />enjoy!<br />nancyenancye williamsnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-78852812602779600072009-06-01T04:46:00.000-07:002009-06-01T04:48:39.824-07:00DelayIt's June 1st and our dolls should be getting ready to go into the virtual reality. However, there is a 3 day delay, so we will be starting closer to the end of the week. I'll keep you posted.nancye williamsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660040884999372853.post-78050279681678220652009-05-20T14:28:00.000-07:002009-05-20T14:34:27.042-07:00My dollMy doll's head is done. I can't decide what I want her to be or be wearing. I think she is younger than me (who isn't?) and she's more conservative (again). Not as gaudy.<br />I've found my journal and that too is in process. I'm using watercolor paper for the bulk of it.<br />Then I found a neat box at the junk store and I was going to fix it up but it is really nice looking...so I thought I'd leave it for now. It is a Kate Spade box. The colors are not me but I'll make it work somehow.<br />So just a note to let you know I'm working. Can't wait.nancye williamsnoreply@blogger.com0
